ASP.net deployment problem: ASP.net, Parser Error

by: x_comPosted on 2009-10-22 at 20:03:21ID: 25641081

Hi needspace,
It seem like missing reference registration in web.config. Do you compare throughly the required setup reference in config. file for this custom control - <em:EventListing>? Double check again the file and post here if you need any further inspection.

I'll look into that. I just managed to get the <compilation> element working (not sure why I had a problem the first time) and I have a similar error on deployment:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Parser Error
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: The base class includes the field 'eventListing', but its type (Registration_EventListing) is not compatible with the type of control (ASP.controls_eventlisting_ascx).

Source Error:

I'll take your suggestion and look through the config real close.

So how should <em:EventListing> be listed in the config file? I'm assuming you are talking about web.config?
There are no registrations in the web.config file like that. Those registrations are on the appropriate aspx files.

Yes, i'm mentioning the web.config file. Can you post the code that used in your custom control - em: eventlisting? Please provide more details for this control as i'm suspecting this is missing configurations issue since it is running properly under your development server. You may provide more details for your deployment server as that could be some limitations for this control to run in that server.

I pasted the two custom controls ascx files and the aspx files they are tied to. I also pasted the web.config.
There is one other page referred to in EventRegistration.aspx which is EventConfirmation.aspx. There is no custom control for EventConfirmation, just FYI.

I have tried to deploy to two different systems:
1 is a Dual 2.33 GHz Xeon with 8 GB Ram, Server 2008 x64 SP 1
IIS 7 is running in integrated mode

The other is (was - it doesn't exist as of Friday)
not as robust hardware-wise, (don't remember the processor), has 4 GB Ram and Server 2008 x32 SP 1. Also IIS 7 in integrated mode.

Do you need the code behind files also?

by: arevuriPosted on 2009-10-29 at 06:35:33ID: 25693453

If you have deployed the web site as application then make sure you dont have duplicate class names in any folder in the application directory in your case the class name 'EventListing' should not occur more than once in your application

by: needspacePosted on 2009-10-30 at 14:25:11ID: 25706915

OK. Arevui, I don't see any duplicate entries but your answer got me thinking about something. Instead of "deploying" I just copied the compiled files from my development environment to the server I want to deploy to, set up the IIS stie and tried to browse to it. It worked!
Now, is there a reason I could explicitly "deploy" the solution or is this a reasonable way to put the site in place? I just want to make sure I am not inadvertanly putting a security hole in place.

by: needspacePosted on 2009-11-04 at 06:53:20ID: 25739854

I got it all figured out. Thank you for your assistance walking me through this.
